« **Reply #26 on:** February 11, 2013, 06:40:33 PM »

The only reason I ask is after we set it where it should have been we were able to get good improvements on the bow attitude and being a delta bottom you don't get much you will c how nice it rides in chop and how flat the nose carries 👍

Making great progress!

That's because I've been too busy workin on the boat! But it's getting there, got my carpet in, got my fiberglass seats from ARS marine just gotta mock them up and drop them off at the upholstery guy. Making side panels this weekend so those can get wrapped in vinyl. Next weekend I hope to drop the motor back in. This has definitely been a big project!

yeah, he needs a split bowl and a diverter, but we're just trying to get it on the water for now.

but since its apart might as well at least get the bowl on i have a standard berk straight i can give him for now so his nozzle will work til he buys a place. the pin angle would be good for all around use and passes just no rooster tails

« **Reply #36 on:** March 05, 2013, 10:32:36 AM »

Also have my stock berk intake flat keel ready for machine work for ride plate and backcut shoe

« **Reply #39 on:** March 05, 2013, 06:07:31 PM »

ya, i will do the bowl and diverter this summer. Been spending alot of coin on this thing so i had to slow down a little, ready to get it on the water like B-rad said to see where its at since ive never driven it. Snapped a few pics tonite, gonna drop off my seats next week and get them stitched up as well as my side panels, also getting a new cover made. And ive decided to put a nice little stereo in it for floatin.

me and the wife are gonna hit parker with you guys but we'll be sportin the Cheetah. My goal is to bring the E-boat to the Mother's day get together.

Thanks man, the wife is actually trying to get me to buy new twisties, she says that's what everyone looks at first, but I'm gonna sport the long ones for now don't feel like spending a grand. Rooster comes first!

So its been awhile since i have updated this, been working on this thing every free weekend. Dropped my fiberglass seats off and my side panels so those are being done right now. put my motor in the boat a couple weekends ago, still getting all the fittings for the fuel and water lines. that little stuff sure adds up! got all the stuff to finish the motor, distributor, roller rockers, plug wires, coil, etc.. In the meanwhile i sold my big boat this week so now the pressure is on to finish up this one, cant be boatless!

Nice boat!! Just curious, did you check the piston to valve clearance with that cam? I've been told the 325 horse 454 is real tight on piston to valve clearance. Nice boat, looks like fun!!
